Toys in the Attic is the third album by American rock band Aerosmith, released in April 1975. Is also a name of a 1963`s drama movie with Dean Martin and Geraldine Page. Now, because this is a really nice name, this will be the name of a new session of Papermau`s blog. In this session I will share old original and exclusive paper models posted more than a year here in the blog. It's a way of not letting these models get lost among almost 9.000 posts in six years of existence of the blog................................................................................................................................................................................

Kiki, thesigner of this cool Halloween project, says: - "One of my kids favorite thing to do before each holiday is countdown. We countdown to Christmas, we countdown to Easter, we countdown to the last day of school (yep, that’s a holiday in our house!)...so we also of course, countdown to Halloween. This year I thought it would be fun to make a printable that we could actually use to spice it up a bit. That is where the Halloween Countdown House comes in. It’s the perfect piece of real estate to pick up…31 windows or doors, 31 Halloween related activities, 31 days of guaranteed fun and memories for your kids…for FREE!"

My friend Guillermo "Angus" Buttini, aka Viajero Gasolinero, from Mendoza, Argentina, built the Re-Perez Auto Service and kindly sent me some photos of his nice work. He said he uses this diorama as stand for his miniatures in 1/60 and 1/64 scale. Well, as I always say, it is a great honor and a pleasure to showcase the work of modelers friends from all over the world. - "Thank you very much, Angus, for the great photos. A big hug from Brazil to Argentina." - Mauther - If you want to build your own Re-Perez Auto Service, the link to download the model is right below, at the end of this post.

I "am in the paper modeling" since 2005, although I've had contact with paper models from my childhood in the 1970s, via magazines that were sold sporadically in newsagents. I remember magazines with houses to build and dioramas/playsets of airports, western forts, nativity scenes and the like. With the advent of the internet what happened was simply a revival of the papercraft hobby for me and many other people of my generation. Today I am opening a new session here on the blog, the Ephemeral Museum , which is a place where I will show some of the models that I built all these years. I would also like this to be a space where all modelers friends could show their work, so if anyone wants to participate in this "museum", just send photos of your work and a few words, if you want, to the e-mail:

Created byGerman designer and modeler Martin Sänger, from Paper Aviation website, this is a Bulk Freighter with its Outpost.On Star Wars universe, Bulk Freighters are huge spaceships used to haul enormous cargo loads. Most of the ship's interior are occupied by cargo bays while the bridge and crew areas are often small and cramped. In spite of this, many spacers signed on to bulk freighters because of the profits involved.Bulk Freighters are very costly to obtain and operate, but the payoffs for transporting such huge loads are much higher than those earned with smaller and more inexpensive light freighters. Therefore they are mainly used by larger shipping concerns or smuggling organizations.
